Voici le programme des journées SPOT4 (Take5) des 18 et 19 novembreembre.Nous acceptons encore des inscriptions, mais ne tardez pas trop à écrire à sylvia.sylvander@cnes.fr ou danielle.barrere@cnes.fr Here is the agenda for the SPOT4 (Take5) days of November the 18th and 19th. We still accept new inscriptions, but do it quickly by sending an email […]
As far as I know, here is the first published paper that used SPOT4 (Take5) data (together with SAR data from Terra SAR-X and Cosmo SkyMed X band SAR data). Please remember that we are preparing a special issue on SPOT4 (Take5) in remote sensing journal, deadline is February 28th. A ma connaissance, voici le […]
=> The fourth edition of the RAQRS (Recent Advances in Quantitative Remote Sensing) Symposium took place in Valencia (Spain) two weeks ago. This symposium happens every forth year, is perfectly organised by J.Sobrino and his colleagues at University of Valencia. It aims at showing the last advances in remote sensing for land surfaces, in all […]
=>La quatrième édition du colloque RAQRS (Recent Advances in Quantitative Remote Sensing) s’est déroulée à Valencia, en Espagne, il y a deux semaines. Ce colloque a lieu tous les 4 ans, il est parfaitement organisé par J.Sobrino et ses collègues de l’Université de Valencia. Son objectif est de passer en revue les dernières avancées […]
=> The LANDSAT-8 and SENTINEL-2 satellites have a spectral band centered on the 1.38µm wavelength, which is designed to allow the detection of high altitude clouds. This spectral band corresponds to a strong absorption band of water vapour. its absorption is so strong that a photon emitted by the sun in this wavelength has nearly […]
=> Les satellites LANDSAT-8 et SENTINEL-2 possèdent une bande spectrale centrée sur la longueur d’onde 1.38 µm, destinée à la détection des nuages hauts. Cette bande spectrale correspond à une forte bande d’absorption de la vapeur d’eau. Cette absorption est tellement forte qu’il est très peu probable qu’un photon émis par le soleil arrive à […]
In a classical Hollywood thriller, in which the hero nearly dies several times, a last sequence of the film is usually dedicated to the happy ending with a swinging music. The same happens with the SPOT5 (Take5) story : after several periods with very little hopes of success, the SPOT5 (TAKE5) experiment is finally close […]
Les collègues du centre de production MUSCATE travaillant au CNES pour le centre de données THEIA rajoutent un nouveau lot de données LANDSAT 8 tous les 15 jours.Les dernières données produites vont du 3 au 16 août 2014, elles sont donc produites avec un délai d’un mois à un mois et demi par rapport à […]
=> Sentinel-2 orbits The Sentinel-2 orbit was set so that the swaths observed by the satellite have a little overlap at the equator. The width of the overlap increases quickly at higher latitudes. For instance, at France latitude (45 degrees), about half of the surface will be observed twice per satellite cycle, from two adjacent […]
